Livingstone is a more authentically 'African' town than Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side of the border. The view from this side of the gorge is equally spectacular, and during the low water period of October to February it is possible to walk right to the edge of the thundering Falls themselves or to swim (carefully!) in one of the rocky pools at the edge of the gorge.

Many adventure activities can be arranged from Livingstone, varying from bungee jumping, gorge swinging, micro-lighting and white water rafting to more leisurely boat cruises on the upper stretches of the river.
